Robert D. Putnam is the Peter and Isabel Malkin Professor of Public Policy at Harvard, where he teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses. Professor Putnam is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the British Academy, and past president of the American Political Science Association. In 2006, Putnam received the Skytte Prize, one of the world's highest accolades for a political scientist. Raised in a small town in the Midwest and educated at Swarthmore, Oxford, and Yale, he has served as Dean of the Kennedy School of Government.
He has written fourteen books, translated into twenty languages, including the best-selling Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, and more recently Better Together: Restoring the American Community, a study of promising new forms of social connectedness. His previous book, Making Democracy Work, was praised by the Economist as "a great work of social science, worthy to rank alongside de Tocqueville, Pareto and Weber." Both Making Democracy Work and Bowling Alone are among the most cited publications in the social sciences worldwide in the last half century.
Why do some democratic governments succeed and others fail? In a book that has received attention from policymakers and civic activists in America and around the world, Robert Putnam and his collaborators offer empirical evidence for the importance of "civic community" in developing successful institutions. Their focus is on a unique experiment begun in 1970 when Italy created new governments for each of its regions. After spending two decades analyzing the efficacy of these governments in such fields as agriculture, housing, and health services, they reveal patterns of associationism, trust, and cooperation that facilitate good governance and economic prosperity.
似乎无论是不是涉及中国,democracy这个词都会成为最大的标题党,什么Capitalism Without Democracy, Accountability Without Democracy,不一而足。要是认真,你就输了——真去翻书,才会知道democracy基本属于躺着也中枪的级别,他们讨论的基本不干民主什么事儿。同样地,带...
评分帕特南的汤药 白凤 这期决定改变以往的小清新,推荐一本貌似晦涩阅读体验不会太好的好书:罗伯特·帕特南《使民主运转起来》。大学时代,迷恋的社会学著作很多,《使民主运转起来》就是其中一本,最近又重温。至于原因,看看各大报纸头条内容,你懂的。 在...
评分看着都这么累 真研究起来得有多烦
评分不管其他书理论还是写作有多难,这本是本学期折磨我最严酷的书T_T,星期六到星期天连续十多个小时边度边做笔记,分析数据。
评分The founding father of social capital.
评分去年被要求看的书(太长+数据太多=不看)今年刷了几个书评了事。关于社会资本不同导致同样下放权利到南北意大利不同地方政府,皿煮运转的不同。好像放到我国做实验也会是差不多的结果嘛,把南北对调一下,我国南北经济意识各方面都跟意大利南北是反的。
评分研究信任、互惠原则和横向关系网络对institution performance的作用。应该可以理解为“民主运作”的道德基础吧
